MIDI
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is a world-wide standard communication interface
that enables electronic musical instruments and computers (of all brands) to communicate with each other so
that instructions and other data can pass between them. This exchange of information makes it possible to
create a system of MIDI instruments and devices that offer far greater versatility and control than is available
with isolated instruments. Whether you interface with computers, sequencers, expanders or other keyboards,
your musical horizons will be greatly enhanced.
MIDI CONNECTION
The MIDI terminals are located on the left side panel of the piano.
1.
MIDI IN
: This terminal receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device.
2.
MIDI OUT
: This terminal transmits data from this instrument to other MIDI devices. The transmitted data
includes the note and touch velocity produced while playing on the keyboard as well as voice changes, and
recorded playback for the melody tracks. Demo songs and auto accompaniment are not transmitted.
NOTE: For more information regarding transmitted MIDI data, please see the next page and/or the MIDI
implementation chart.
MIDI CHANNEL:
The MIDI system in this unit has 16 channels numbered from 1-16. Each of the channels
is responsible for a voice. When the instrument receives MIDI information from an external device, the active
channel is determined by the control message. The transmission channels on this keyboard are fixed as follows:
Channel 1: Master voice (keyboard)
Channel 2: Layer voice (keyboard)
Channel 3: Lower voice (keyboard)
Channel 4: Bass in manual bass chord mode
Channel 7: Chord in manual bass chord mode
Channel 10: Percussion sound
Channel 12: Melody 1 playback, Master Voice
Channel 13: Melody 1 playback, Layer Voice
Channel 14: Melody 2 playback, Master Voice
Channel 15: Melody 2 playback, Layer Voice
Please see the MIDI Implementation Chart for more detail.
NOTE: When the USB is connected to a computer, all MIDI message will receive/transmit via USB.
